Netherlands Urged to Invest in Railway Security
The Netherlands' railway system is vulnerable to sabotage and cyberattacks, and the government must invest at least €600 million to strengthen security, according to a report from the Physical Environment Advisory Council (OFL).
The council concluded that the country's railways are currently optimized for efficiency and punctuality but are insufficiently prepared for deliberate attacks or cyber intrusions. Current policies focus mainly on operational disruptions caused by weather or technical failures, which experts say is outdated.
- Installing fences along railway lines
- Installing surveillance cameras
- Implementing anti-drone measures
Authorities suspect that a deliberate cable fire disrupted train services at Schiphol Airport throughout June.
No specific locations are identified, but Utrecht hosts two major rail hubs and houses a key traffic control center operated by ProRail.
Author's summary: Netherlands needs to invest €600 million to protect railways.
